I'm sure they are good but if I am going to spend that kind of money on brakes I am going to get the Brembo kit...

12' W204 C63 AMG coupe "T-Rex", 12' W451 Smart Fortwo Pulse (99' W202 C43 AMG sold)

As per the ad details, it certainly looks like a rear end brake kit. If so, that's bl**dy expensive and more a rip-off than anything else. Definitely waiting for a Brembo kit.

eclectic assortment of cars

Seems they have AMG and Mercedes 'tax' added to them. It's a bit pricey considering they are only the rears, I suspect you can shop a bit and find a more reasonable price somewhere else. I can buy an AP Racing based front big brake kit for my S2000 for about US$2400. I suspect a Brembo kit is actually going to be more expensive for North Americans than Stoptech.
